GARDENS are reopening to the public to raise money for a nursing charity.

Thanks to the easing of Welsh Government lockdown restrictions you can enjoy stunning gardens open for the National Garden Scheme. All funds raised will go to the charity’s Help Support Our Nurses campaign.

To keep garden owners, volunteers and visitors safe and to comply with Government guidelines, all gardens will open in a system of pre-purchased tickets for a timed slot at the visitor’s garden of choice. Tickets must be purchased via the National Garden Scheme website, https://ngs.org.uk/.

Every Monday a new batch of gardens opening in the next 10 days is added to the website. Tickets for the gardens open July 11 and 12 will be available from Monday, July 6.

Numbers of visitors per timed slot will vary from garden to garden, depending on size. These and all other relevant details can be found at a garden’s entry on the website.

Gardens will not offer teas or other refreshments, at some gardens where there is sufficient space, people will be allowed to bring their own picnics. All buildings will be closed and access to toilets will only be provided in an emergency and so long as it does not involve access to a house.
